Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Seaside Romantic Interactions (5)_1

"As long as you can’t forget about your parents’ matters in this life, you cannot be happy with Qi Cheng. Even if you force yourself to stay by his side, it will only bring pain. You might end up like two years ago. You’ve just started to live your life better. I don’t want you to go down the same path again. If it’s destined that you won’t be happy, why don’t you cut ties with him?"

Ji Yunhuan sighed. "I thought I was a straightforward person. Only now do I realize that I am not. Sometimes, it’s not about not wanting to cut ties, but..."

She could never forget the gentle look on Qi Cheng’s face when he was drunk that day.

He didn’t seem like a man who could manipulate the world as he pleased. Instead, he seemed like a boy looking up at her.

It was as if all his hopes were pinned on her.

With helplessness, Wen Nuan said, "Have you really softened your heart for him? Then why didn’t you soften your heart two years ago? The most foolish woman in the world is the one who returns to her ex. If he wasn’t important enough for you to forgive him regardless of everything before, then naturally, he wouldn’t be important enough for you to be with regardless of everything today, right?"

Ji Yunhuan paused.

Wen Nuan continued, "Of course, if you feel that you can’t live without Qi Cheng by your side, then pretend I never said these words. After all, I can’t force you to die."

Aunt Liu had already put away Ji Yunhuan’s luggage and had gone to another room.

Listening to Wen Nuan, Ji Yunhuan remembered the question she had once asked her second sister-in-law. If one day the second brother made her angry, would she forgive him?

The second sister-in-law’s answer was yes.

She said if the second brother wasn’t there, she would die.

Listening to Wen Nuan, Ji Yunhuan realized that her feelings for Qi Cheng weren’t that deep. They weren’t deep enough to make her willing to give her life for him. Nor were they deep enough to make her feel that in this world, she must have him.

He was just a man who moved her heart and also a man she was willing to abandon when angry.

She couldn’t resist his kindness for a moment, so she was confused.

At night, lying on the bed, Ji Yunhuan still thought about how she would live if one day Qi Cheng wasn’t there.

Over the past two years, she mostly thought about the child.

She missed Qi Cheng but felt more regret.

Regret that there were so many grievances between them.

She found herself somewhat ridiculous.

Originally, love came in many forms.

Sometimes it was fate, sometimes an illusion.

It seemed that only those who saw their partner as more important than their life could live happily together.

Like second brother and second sister-in-law.

They were deeply in love, no matter what problems they encountered, they would never separate.

Maybe even the second sister-in-law, standing in her position, would always find excuses to forgive the second brother.

But what about her?

Perhaps, two years ago, she chose to leave Qi Cheng simply because Qi Cheng wasn’t that important.

Or maybe she never had deep hopes for him.

It was destiny that tied her and Qi Cheng together, so she had to love the man who had become her husband.

While thinking about this serious issue, Ji Yunhuan’s phone rang. She glanced at it, it was Qi Cheng.

Perhaps because she had these thoughts, upon seeing Qi Cheng, she felt inexplicably guilty.

She answered the phone.

On the other end, Qi Cheng’s voice was gentle. "Don’t wait for me for dinner. You go ahead and eat. I have something to do today and won’t be coming by. Sleep early."

"I’ve already gone to bed. You think I’d wait for you? I wouldn’t." She frowned. He said he would come by later. Now he wouldn’t. She felt a bit disappointed.

But then remembered Wen Nuan’s words...

She felt she should control herself, not have so many feelings for him.

Qi Cheng didn’t mind, he was used to her little lies.

He laughed. "That’s good. I’ll hang up now."

Today, Grandpa had come over. The whole family was accompanying Grandpa for dinner.

He couldn’t not be there.

During the meal, second sister-in-law couldn’t help asking, "Qi Cheng, where have you been running off to these past two weeks?"

"I went to the seaside for a bit." He didn’t specify which sea.

Second sister-in-law laughed. "Alone?"

"Yeah." Qi Cheng replied absentmindedly.

Second sister-in-law, however, smiled knowingly. She had coincidentally met Xie Xingwei two days ago and knew Qi Cheng couldn’t have gone with Xie Xingwei. Seeing Qi Cheng’s calm face and glancing at Grandpa next to him, she didn’t say more.

In fact, she had already guessed who the woman going with Qi Cheng was.

Qi’s mother, upon hearing Xie Xingwei’s name, couldn’t help frowning. "I don’t like that Xie girl. She doesn’t seem to have a strong character."

Second sister-in-law said, "Having a strong character isn’t always a good thing, like Yunhuan used to..."

Before finishing, second brother tugged her, signaling her to stop.

Only then did second sister-in-law shut up.

Jingyang Baby, hearing the name Yunhuan, lifted his head. "Yunhuan?"

Last time, second sister-in-law’s reminder had made him remember this name.

"Eat your food." Second sister-in-law smiled at Baby, afraid he might slip up and reveal his meeting with Ji Yunhuan.

Yunhuan was a taboo topic in this family now. No one wanted to mention her.

Ji Yunhuan was like a wound in this family, and the only woman who had left her child and ignored everyone’s opposition to walk away from this family.

When Ji Yunhuan left, Grandpa had said that the Qi Family, including the child, had nothing to do with her anymore.

Second brother said, "Mom, don’t worry too much about Ms. Xie’s issue. Qi Cheng is just playing around with her. He won’t take it seriously."

Qi’s mother glanced at Qi Cheng, sighed helplessly, afraid that he might return to his old ways of being a playboy.

Grandpa seemed to share the same worry, suddenly asking, "Does Qi Cheng know about the third daughter of the Lin Family?"

Qi Cheng shook his head.

"The one who used to always play with you when you were little."

"Lin Xiang?" It was second sister-in-law who remembered first.

Grandpa nodded. "Yes."

"Isn’t she just a little girl?"

"She’s twenty-five now." Grandpa said, "I met Lin Family couple a few days ago. They said their third daughter really likes Qi Cheng. She was abroad when Qi Cheng got married two years ago. Hearing about the sudden marriage, she was heartbroken. Just came back this year, very good-looking. Qi Cheng is not young anymore. It’s time to consider."
